Admiral Jellicoe is a facinating figure who was well loved by his crews. But this POD is before that. He was in Ordinance at one time and realized Brotish shells were terrible, coupled with with less survivability against German ships and his whole plan revolving around artillery, he ordered a new shell, sadly the group say on the request until 1917 when it was learned Ordinance had failed to do anything useful.
But what if that request wasn't ignored? WI Jellicoe had managed to kick their arses into gear and made them make enough shells for WW1
